Why were the pigs so tough on him from the get go? The whole plot of this movie still baffle me to this day.

There's something called qualified immunity that means cops can frick with you to the point of instigating a struggle then slowly killing you while laughing and the judge will let them off
There used to be vagrancy laws in America. If you were homeless, jobless and didn’t have a certain amount of money, you could be jailed.
>used to
They're coming back.

>The 78-page bill criminalizes homelessness—and decriminalizes the use of deadly force against individuals engaging in “unlawful camping.” Under this law, if a property owner believes an unhoused trespasser is attempting to commit a felony or attempting to “dispossess” them, they can shoot the homeless person.
Wtf I love Kentucky now
Which is funny right? It's illegal not to have a home? So they can beat you up and toss you in prison with real criminals as if that's going to solve the problem. Oh, you don't have any money? WELL WE'RE GONNA FINE YOU FOR THAT! And you better figure out a way to pay us haha! Or else now you're our indebted slave.
sounds like someones whos never dealt with a bum's bullshit before
i never understood why homeless didnt want to be arrested. free bed, free food.
>land of the free
Now this here's a nice Protestant town. Look into meh blue eyes when an actual white man speaks to you, son. You got get your dago ass back to New York before sundown, you hear boy?
Lots of small towns do operate similar to this, but usually they are not so evil and rotten about it.
Looked like trouble
Cop didnt like scruffy vagrants in his town and got pissed off after already picking him up and dropping him off at the edge of town.
He also thought he was wearing the vets jacket ironically, since he looked like a hippie. The cop himself was a vet.
>He also thought he was wearing the vets jacket ironically
what a moron
I don't think people today understand why having long hair would be such a big deal in 1970.
I don’t get it, were both hippies and vets hated equally?
No, hippies were far worse in any normie circles, I kinda thought they were scummy even as a little kid
the movie makes subtle hints at why by showing how all the minorities live on the outskirts and beyond the bridges of the town
You would thin j that they would of treated that black vet that rambo was going to see like a war hero
None of the veterans were treated well. That was one thing that pissed Rambo off. They were all labeled baby killers, spat on, and yelled at by people who only got their information from the news and didn't know what was really true.
no it was the opposite in this case he would be treated badly as a soldier of a lost war, that town wasnt filled with avid readers of gore vidal and chomsky
Even modern day as a pretty decent amount of random cop BS. CA recently passed the Freedom to Walk Act. Doing away with jay walking laws being it was just being enforced in poor areas to farm revenue.
Something that is so shitty you wonder why it wasn't brought under controle sooner.

>Bakersfield, for instance, only 17% of census tracts have a median income below $37,404, yet 92% of jaywalking citations were imposed in these low-income tracts
he wasn't wearing a mask during a deadly pandemic and thereby endangering the goal of herd immunity
Rambo is pro walkable cities
Cops are pro cars
book is kino.
and makes way more sense. and is more violent
The USA is an authoritarian shithole.
Yes, Ivan. We know you've been raiding since some hours ago.
